ranged.spo, version 1.10, for NPPAngband 0.4.0Release Date : December 5, 2004Author: Tomas Dedorson (Twilight). This header and some of the format issimilar to L Dickens attack spoiler for Angband 3.0.5.

This spoiler may be freely distributed if the header is unchanged with anyupdates in version number, release date and addition of authors made.

This is the first draft for a spoiler for NPPAngband 0.4.0 on what differenteffects a monsters ranged attacks have on the player. It also shows what therest of the monster spells do. Too many abbreviations may have been used, butmost of them should be obvious. A key for them may be added later or a moreverbose version may be in order. Any faults found or suggestions about justabout anything (additions, format etc) should be made/mailed to the author.

To be added : Destrucion of objects on the ground. Effects on other monstersby monster attacks. Lash ... and certainly more that have been missed. Also tofind and kill all bugs that may have sneaked in.

The format (X -- Y) to show an interval has been used.Both a/b or a decimal version has been used for fractions.

Breaths do damage based on the breathers hitpoints. A breath can be powerful.This affects damage done and damage reduction by distance (see below). Breathsoften have additional effects when the attack is not resisted or if the attackis never resisted. Breaths have no mana cost.

Shown within parentheses are damage and maximum damage, ifit is *not* a powerful breath. The table has been split in two for a convenientfit.

Acid tries to attack a piece of armor. If it finds a non-empty slot witharmor that isn't at the minimum AC already, then the damage to the player isreduced by half. This even if the item is unaffected by acid. The armorsAC-bonus is reduced by one if it can be affected by acid.

The values given are the fraction of the damage the player recieves at thedistance given. This reduction is of course made before the damage may beresisted by the player. Note that for most breaths, having the powerfulversion have no effect on distance damage reduction.
